Abstract:
Objective:To assess the clinical application of bedside X-ray photography assistor (Patent No. 202 023 219 898.1) in neonatal bedside photography.Methods:From April 2021 to February 2022, a total of 180 pediatric patients were selected who underwent bedside chest X-ray photography in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. These patients were divided into contrpol group, consisting of 48 males and 42 females aged at (3.3 ± 2.0) d (0-10 d), and experimental group, including 50 males and 40 females aged (3.1±2.2) d (0-12 d). For chest photography, routine workflow was followed in the control group while in experimental group bedside photography protection and body position fixing device was used. The examination time, reshoot rate and image quality were compared between the two groups.Results:The diagnostic physician score and patient comfort score in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( t = 3.98, 3.82, P < 0.001). The success rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference ( χ2= 7.84, P < 0.05). The average time of examination in the experimental group was not significantly different from in the control group ( P>0.05 ). Conclusions:The application of bedside X-ray photography assistor in neonatal bedside photography can significantly improve the success rate and image quality and reduce the radiation dose to pediatric patients without significantly increased examination time, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
